Unfortunately, the very act of HAVING a personality like Piers Morgan means you’ve convinced yourself you have a shot, regardless of how plausible it actually is.

But not surprising. Remember, a lot of this was all born out of the twin steaming cauldrons of Gamer Gate and Comics Gate.

Rounding out the stretch, shout-out for his voiceover appearance in The World’s End.

Where, similar to wrightstuff above, I still find myself occasionally thinking of his delivery on:
“You will be left to your own devices.”
“Really?”
“Yeah...Fuck it.”

I gave it a revisit last year following Ian Holm’s death. It has held up well.

This movie marks a distinct cinematic landmark for me, albeit not a good one.

This marked the first movie (or at least the furthest back I can remember) where I found myself, in the theater, checking my watch to see how much time was left.

That fucking water wheel scene just...kept...going.

My favorite wild Nighy swing to point out to people - he was in the BBC radio version of LotR from the 80s (the one with Ian Holm as Frodo)

He was playing Samwise.

And honestly, he plays him well.

This is the part I keep coming back to and wondering on.
It’s not even just an apology. He’s made it clear he wants Hamada gone and was willing to throw and poorly calculated ‘He goes or I go’ ultimatum behind it (which, again, I question the logic on - he had NO leverage behind making a demand like that, what did he…

At least part of it seems to be he does NOT take to criticism well, no matter who it’s from. As a result, he’s become part of that section of ostensible progressives that seem to be getting more and more chummy with reactionaries lately, because they think the reactionary is more open to hearing what they have to say…

About that -
They were actually gearing up to do an official release right around the time he died.

Poor guy went to his grave not knowing they’d get cold feet and renege again shortly thereafter.

EDIT - Hell, even if we can’t get the complete director’s cut, I’m willing to at least get the Kermode cut as the next…

I’d argue you’re downplaying the difference that fan movement made.

When The Return was announced, and even when it ended, there wasn’t already a campaign teeing up lobbying Showtime for a season 4.
By comparison, this isn’t even out and already some of the fanbase has been changing gears to ‘Restore the Snyderverse’,…

Just #releasethedevils already.
The film is already complete and being show in R rated cuts intermittently on streaming. After the millions you’ve kept throwing at Snyder, is finally giving us Russell’s original movie THAT unreasonable?

At this point, I feel like the only way I’ll accept a Joker saying that now is if it’s explicitly mocking the premise.

Someone asks him what it means
“Nothing, really. It’s just people seem to have got it into their heads that I’m deep and introspective, so I just throw this nonsense out and they eat it up.
What can I…

I’ve been thinking it’s gonna turn into his Star Wars.
He’ll keep trying to tweak it and revise it and make the REAL final Snyder Cut, until it becomes a psychologically unhealthy obsession.

It helped that we got that just because they decided “Sure, why not?” and not because a bunch of David Lynch/Twin Peaks fans staged an aggressive online campaign demanding a third season, causing Showtime to blink and go “Okay, BUT JUST THIS ONCE!”

Plus, the fandom had lived with the open ending of s2 for 25 years.…

The crazy part about Snyder’s take on Superman is it shows that, whether conscious of it or not, he actually has a spot-on grasp on Lex Luthor as a character, particularly with regards to his attitude towards Superman.

I question his conscious awareness of it since, despite personally having nailed that ‘No one who’s…

John Stewart: “I may be a soldier and a Green Lantern, but I don’t believe in using violence unless it’s absolutely necessary.”
Superman: “and I believe you can catch a rainbow in your hat!”
John Stewart: “I’LL KILL YOU, WHITE DEVIL!”

I mean, they DID pump the brakes when he wanted to put in a subplot about Bruce and Lois hooking up.

So there is a line, but fuck if it’s weird to spot it.

John DiMaggio hits it pretty well in Under the Red Hood. It’s definitely a more violent/sinister version of the Joker, but under it all, for him the whole thing is still about fucking with people, plain and simple.

You joke, but I’d watch a Jon Waters take on the DCEU.
Especially after the self-serious offerings it started with.

Also, the perfect Waters line to sneak in post BvS -
“TELL YOUR MOTHER I HATE HER! TELL YOUR MOTHER I HATE YOU!”

Hell, even going by Empire you get the sense they hadn’t decided Leia was his sister yet (even if you’re keeping that shit mum, you don’t write a scene like that Hoth kiss if you’re planning to reveal those characters are siblings.)
